Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 158 The terrible consequences!

For an instant.

Everyone looked hesitantly, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang for a while, and then for Zhu Xiongying.

This is not the first time we have seen this situation.

Once upon a time, everyone saw it on treasure banknotes.

Especially regarding money trends, Lao Zhu likes to come up with random ideas.

"Pfft" sound.

But there are still some whom I have never seen before, such as several princesses and concubines, and even the Crown Princess, Princess Yan and others are meeting for the first time.

It was obviously an extremely funny scene, but everyone could only laugh in their hearts and did not dare to show their emotions on the surface.

It was Princess Ning Guo, Empress Ma's biological daughter, who finally couldn't help laughing.

The person who asked the question was Princess Ningguo.

Once upon a time, I thought that when I stamped the treasure banknotes, I had cooperated with Uncle Ten, but now I was stabbed in the back.

"Really, Su Xian?"

It's just that among the three princesses, Princess Ningguo, who is Queen Ma's biological daughter, is naturally the most favored and the least afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang's wrath.

But Zhu Xiongying's face turned red. This was the first time he had been pointed out so directly.

Zhu Xiongying argued. As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and looked at Su Xian.

The father-in-law in her mouth was naturally the Korean father-in-law who Zhu Yuanzhang compared to 'Xiao He' and named him the head of all the princes - "Li Shanchang"!
"It's indeed him." Chang Jing nodded.

After hearing this, the three princesses became even more weird.

Well... still a princess.

Uh……

Princess Chongning is not as gentle as the eldest sister, and not as direct as the second sister, but she gives people a feeling of agility and tranquility.

Of course, although Li Shanchang abdicated, his eldest son Li Qi was still in power and married the eldest princess, Princess Lin'an.

"Father, do you really teach Xiongying like this?"

"My father-in-law has written to me several times and asked about it."

"Is he Su Xian?"

"I'm not hiding anything. Gewuyuan is so big now, but it's all because of my money."

Chang Jing nodded, "It turns out that this kid is also very kind to me."

In addition to the six dukes and twenty-eight marquises who were enfeoffed at the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in the following years, consorts who were close to the royal family and generals who performed great feats and died in battle were also posthumously granted the title of marquis.

"Today's "Gewuyuan Year-End Summary" is also the last day that the Holy One will save. From tomorrow on, the father and son may also be punished?"

Su Xian cursed in his heart.

As for the Lu family, they were also on the other side. Zhu Yunwen and Chang's two daughters were with some princes, Zhu Gaochi, the infant Zhu Yunxi and others.

Putting so many achievements on a child is really scary.

"What happened to what Grandpa Huang taught me? Grandpa Huang said that monosodium glutamate is inherently profit-heavy. If I set the profit too high, isn't it for the sake of Gewuyuan?"

"And..." As she spoke, she lowered her voice and whispered: "I heard that this child is going to suffer? His father was greedy for money in Chaojingyuan and stole the printing plate."

They had heard of Su Xian's reputation for a long time, but had never had the opportunity to meet him. Now that they saw it, they found that Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson, immediately went to ask this five-year-old instead of his own grandfather. The son of Pinyuan envoy.

"I didn't believe it at first, but I heard about this kid a few times..." Chang Jing seemed to not know how to describe it, and finally said in a weird tone: "Game? Yes! It's a game. Anyway, you can understand it just by looking at it. Now, Father is almost familiar with it."

"Oh, what a pity, such a talented person."

"Is it really him? It's unimaginable! In April last year, I even heard that he gave advice to my father. At that time, my second sister and I were still in the palace."

to be frank.

However, when it comes to seniority, Zhu Tan is still the elder.

But at this critical moment, everyone's eyes followed Zhu Xiongying and looked at him.

Beside the Crown Princess, Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun sat on one side, and beside her were several older princesses, and behind them was the little girl Yingying Yanyan, who was watching the fun together.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that it was him who delivered the medicine that saved you from danger?"

Just hearing about these news sheets makes me feel dreamy.

In fact, you don't need to call me at this time.

"As for Yan Yin, as well as the previous Bao Chao, I heard that he was the one who argued with Hu Xiang, argued with Song Lian and other masters over the selection of officials, and established the Gewuyuan. Is this true or false? ?”

Coupled with some rumors behind it, they couldn't help but ignore it.

Just this year, Princess Ningguo has married Mei Yin, the second son of Runan Hou Mei Sizu. Princess Chongning also made a marriage contract early and was about to be betrothed to Niu Cheng, the eldest son of Shanqin Hou Niu Bingen.

Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing.

Princess Lin'an is weak and soft-spoken, and is not as bold and direct as Princess Ningguo.

You must know that any one of them, if he were a minister in the court, would have skyrocketed long ago. Such talents are too rare.

As she spoke, Princess Chongning sighed repeatedly.

On the other side, Mrs. Lu's eyes moved after hearing this, but she did not speak. Instead, she picked up her son from the side.

Chang Jing's eyes were complicated, and she seemed to be sure of something:

"I don't know how my father will deal with it, but no matter what, I have to ensure that nothing happens to this child."

This is the first time Chang Jing has spoken with such a firm attitude since she married into the palace.

The princesses are all very familiar with this sister-in-law. How come they don't repay the kindness they receive from others or the kindness of saving their lives?
"Eldest brother and Xiongying probably won't sit idly by and ignore it." Princess Ningguo said, "I heard that when Xiongying heard the news yesterday, didn't he go straight to his father's Jinshen Palace to cry?"

Hearing this, Chang Jing shook her head, with worry in her eyes, "But Xiongying didn't say anything after he came back."

Nothing was said.

In just five words, too much information has been revealed.

That is Zhu Yuanzhang's will - it must not be changed!

A flash of expectation flashed in Princess Chongning's eyes. Immediately, she got straight to the point and said with some embarrassment:

"Sister-in-law, and eldest and second sisters, although it is inappropriate to say this. But my father has already decided on my marriage, so Niucheng..."

Speaking of this name, Princess Chongning was obviously a little shy, but she still said: "He is almost in his prime, and now he has no errands. He wanders around in the army all day. If I marry him, I can't just sit back and have nothing, and my father will also Don’t give me an opinion.”

"If there is really no one to choose from Chaojingyuan, please tell me, Father, can you consider him? He is smart and can be both literary and military."

Chang Jing looked at her, and even Princess Ningguo had a stern tone.

"Third sister, you haven't married yet?"

"Second sister, aren't you thinking about this?" Chongning said coquettishly: "If I marry, it will be one of my own family members. It is better to use one's own family members than to use outsiders, right?"

"Besides, the appearance of a greedy Su Guiyuan has delayed his son's future. Is it possible that there will be a second one?"

"It's a beautiful idea." Princess Ningguo refused without hesitation, "If you want to say something, go ahead and say it yourself, but I can tell you in advance... No one in this world can influence my father's opinion except mother."

"If you don't like the peaceful life in Niucheng, you can try to say it. If you say it today, my father will cause trouble for him tomorrow."

'snort! ’

Princess Chongning was only fourteen years old. She opened her mouth but stopped talking.

"Who said no one can interfere with father's opinion except mother. I saw it a few times before, and that kid is quite powerful, isn't he?"

She looked at Su Xian.

"So their family is being watched by the entire court. Today is the last time he comes to the main hall!" Princess Ningguo warned again.

But Chongning rolled his eyes and suddenly looked at his father, making it clear that he still wanted to find an opportunity.

Princess Ningguo only persuaded her once and would not do so again.

Although the royal children knew things early, there were also fools. In her opinion, it was because Chongning had stayed in the palace for too long and had lost his head.

While several princesses and princesses were chatting.

now.

Su Xian has already been put on the table. Seeing everyone looking at him, he himself was not panicked and was about to speak.

But it turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang had already passed the "embarrassing period".

After coughing a few times, he slowly said:

"Is this how you see us? So what if we gave in? We let our grandson collect it, so of course we have our own reasons."

"The reason for the 50% profit is not because I want you to make progress faster."

"After all, someone wants to follow Baochao's old story and tell us a lot of things, right, Su Xian?"

After all, he was the emperor who founded the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not confused at all. After the previous lesson of Bao Chao, he had already reacted.

But when exactly he reacted, it's hard to say.

Of course, after he said these words, people no longer felt like a confused grandpa who deceived his grandson, but the Ming Emperor who had everything under control and seemed to do so on purpose!

However, as soon as these words came out, Zhu Xiongying turned his head sharply.

"Grandpa Huang? Did you do it on purpose? Did I do something wrong again?"

"Ahem, the 50% profit is indeed a bit high." Zhu Yuanzhang explained: "But logically speaking, MSG is also very profitable. We know the raw materials and selling prices, so the 50% profit is more than enough."

"Anyway, there is one thing we can be sure of."

Zhu Xiongying opened his eyes and listened expectantly.

"There is a lot of treachery and corruption in your little court!"

As soon as these words came out.

Chang Sen immediately blushed, his legs became weak and he almost sat on the ground.

Chang Sheng and Zhu Zi also turned pale.

But the three of them still held on and did not speak.

Zhu Xiongying's gaze shifted away, "Who is the traitor and corrupt person?"

"The traitor has jumped out a long time ago!" the tenth prince Zhu Tan said anxiously, pointing at the eighth prince and said: "Zuo Ban Zhu Zi!"

Swish!
As soon as these words came out.

I don't know if a certain "word" is too similar to a certain position in the current dynasty, and everyone present is nervous.

But Zhu Tan continued: "The strategy he formulated should treat us equally, but he formulated it specifically for the Chang brothers!"

"So now, Chang Sheng and Chang Sen are using this strategy to annex and destroy us!"

"The emperor's eldest grandson's 50% profit is a serious blow!"

"There are wolves in front of us and tigers in the back. They ask us to walk on a single-plank bridge. Who can cross it?"

As soon as these words came out, it seemed that everyone's thoughts were expressed.

Even Xu Yingxu, who had been restraining his emotions, couldn't help but say: "If this continues... there's no need to think about it."

"Next, Fu Zhong, Tenth Prince Zhu Tan, and I will definitely not be able to sustain it, and then they will all collapse, and our craftsmen will also collapse and leave."

"All raw materials, including the profits from major stores, are all controlled by the Chang brothers. Zhu Zi, the eighth prince of Zuoban, has more and more power."

"When the time comes, they say how much profit they have made this month is how much profit they have made. The money received by the emperor's grandson will only become less and less, and eventually he will not be able to collect it at all."

"All matters related to money and power are controlled by these three people!"

His voice just fell.

In an instant, everyone present seemed to have thought of something.

Queen Ma's expression suddenly changed.

She had already realized that the play in the Gewuyuan was once again seeing the big from the small.

Witness the political affairs of the Ming Dynasty through the heroes' play!

And this time... what did you witness?
Zhu Biao's eyes flashed with solemnity, and then he said in a solemn voice: "What else?"

"What else is there? I can't play anymore!" Zhu Tan said.

"Who can continue to play this? Unless the Chang brothers are really loyal ministers, but if they were true, they would not join forces with Lao Ba."

"It's not these..."

Zhu Biao said and suddenly looked at Su Xian.

"anything else?"

The same question, but with different meanings.

Zhu Yuanzhang also stared over early.

"Boy! What else is there?"

Su Xian looked at Zhu Xiongying, and then turned his attention to brothers Chang Sen and Chang Sheng.

"There is one more thing, but it is the most ignored by everyone."

When others looked at it, Su Xian continued: "The craftsmen and the farmers on the fields."

"What's the matter with them? After leaving Gewuyuan, it's just that they no longer have this errand. On the other hand, our Gewuyuan, in terms of financial resources, can no longer sustain it due to greed," Xu Yingxu said.

"Not just these, what if the following possibilities occur?"

Su Xian seemed to be really talking about games.

"What if Chang Sen and the others choose to take over these craftsmen and farmers and take them all under their command?"

Xu Yingxu shook his head firmly, "Chang Sen is petty and will definitely not do this."

"Besides, Gokuyuan was already finished at that time, and Xiongying couldn't collect the money, so how could he still have fun?"

Su Xian corrected him: "Wrong!"

"It's the Gewuyuan you're in that's finished!"

"But Gokuyuan is still running!"

As soon as these words came out.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately narrowed his eyes, but Zhu Biao still couldn't react.

Su Xian took this opportunity and continued:
"If we regard Gewuyuan as the only one, those craftsmen will have no way to support their families after they leave. The same is true for the farmers."

"Before you fell into ruin, you chose to forcibly collect their salary as a 50% profit for the emperor's eldest grandson."

"But before you fall into ruin, there are actually two ways."

Su Xian's voice was very soft.

But at this moment, it seemed to hit Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

"Either they all defect to the Chang brothers as I just said, then Chang Sheng and Chang Sen are the core of the basic operation of the Gewuyuan!"

"When the time comes, the emperor's eldest grandson will not be able to collect the money, but the eighth prince Zhu Zi will always receive it. Didn't you also say, Trinity?"

"Gewuyuan actually still exists..."

"It's nothing more than... changing the owner."

Swish!
As soon as these words came out, everything fell silent!

But Su Xian's words continued to sound.

"Of course, this is Chang Sen's 'kindness' and he knows how to make profits. But if he doesn't understand and continues to be harsh..."

"There is another kind, craftsmen and farmers..."

Su Xian looked at everyone, his voice still childish and light.

But it is like thunder and rolling stones, smashing into the lake of heart.

"Everyone is against it!"
